In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is an outer or bottom view of aninfants garment embodying my invention; Fig. 2 an inner or top viewthereof, and Fig. 3 an enlarged section through the cupped rubberlining. u

The garment consists essentially of a belly band 9, to the outer side ofwhich are secured a pair of straps i. To one of such straps there isremovably attached-by means of a buckle 72, a strip m. To this strip issecured a front buckle k adapted to be engaged by the free strap 2', apair of top buckles 7L2 adapted to be engaged by shoulder straps Z, anda lower buckle 72, adapted to be engaged by the strap 9 of a front flap9 This front flap 9 depends centrally from a pair of side flaps 72 whichare adapted to be folded around the legs, and are provided with a pairof buckles k that may be connected by a common band.
